DUNsEIrH, Oak, Feb. 9.-About 7:3O
Tuesday evening fire was discovered at
the residence of Mrs. Webb, two and one
half miles south of town, and at once a
number of townsmen started for the scene
of disaster Upon arriving on the spot a
search was begun for Mrs. Webb, who had
left town but two hours previous for her
home where she resided alone, her husband
being employed in the Minnesota pineries.
Sheriff Flynn visited each of the adjoining
neighbors, but could learn nothing as to the
whereabouts of Mrs. Webb. which caused
great anxiety and alarm. Early Wednes-
day morning the search was re-
newed, this times among the ruins, andsafter
many hours of faithful labor Mr.. Hurst dis
covered the body in the kitchen. only few
feet from the back door. The sad news
spread like wild fire." which brought
many to the scene Of disaster. The coro-
ner, Dr. Howard, arrived about D. m,
and the remains were carefully put into a
box and brought to town where the inquest
was held. From the position in which the
body was discovered, it evidently indicates
the ladies clothes had caught fire. and she
endeaVofing to escape by way of the back
door. fell victim to the savage flames.

BISMARCK, Dak., Feb. 9.-This after
noon Acting Gov. Mccormack granted a
pardon to Thomas w. Magll. who has
served out two years of three years SEN
tence in Bismarck prison for killing man
named BesSey at Menoka. The parents and
wife of Magill have been working for this
pardon for the past year, and it was claimed
by the GLOBE a few days ago that the par
don would be granted as soon as Judge
Church became governor. if not before.
The reasons embodied in the pardon briefly
given are as follows:
That when sentenced q written request was
made by the jury to the judge that the light
est possible punishment might be given, and
it further appeared that this was his first
ofense and that previously ne had borne a
good reputation and was peaceful and law
abiding citizen; that he is young man in
whom is centered by wife and parents the
holiest emotions Of human life; that his
physical strength by continued confinement
is rapidly wasting, until his ultimate recovery
is questionable. His pardon is requested by
the district attorney who prosecuted him, the
sheriff in charge during his confinement in
Jail, the board of directors and warden of the
peuitentiary in which he is confined, the dis
trict judge, the city and county officers of his
former home in Iowa, the commissioners and
county officers OF Trail county. Dakota, and

This afternoon S. G. Magill, father of the
pardoned man, accompanied by the prison.
er's wife, went to the capitol and were
handed the papers which would give back
the son and husband his liberty. Their
emotions were so great that they were un-
able to speak a word and with eyes brim-
ming with tears, went out without even
being able to thank the governor. 1t is
claimed that Magill is suffering from con-

Winona Bluff Lands.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-When the lands
along the Mississippi river in Winona
county were taken thirty years ago many
odd portions in the bluffs were left unoccu-
pied. Recently a number of farmers APP
piled to Commissioner Sparks, through
Congressman White. to have these lands
offered for sale. The commissioner to-day
sent Mr.. White letter saying that if these
lands could be used by adjoining landown-
ers for pasture, there was certainly one rea-
son why the department should depart from
its usual rule not to offer agricultural lands
for sale. These lands are exceedingly
rough, some pieces having one corner 500
feet higher than another corner. Appli-
cants for the purchase of these lands must
pay all the expenses of advertising and
sale, and the land office at Washington will
conduct the sale so as to avoid any prefer
ence among buyers, and the lands are to be
sold at auction to the highest bidder.

consent to his voting for the Mitchell bill,
and it is foregone conclusion that that
measure will never see daylight again. The
chances for the Sioux Falls faction getting
their bill through the two houses
are claimed to be good yet. 1t
is possible when Gov. Church
has assumed the executive Office that an
other Dill covering the matter will be intro
duced and passed by both houses. and it is
said that Gov. Church will approve it. If
this is the result, Mentzer and Sullivan have
fought losing battle. Among the bills
introduced in the house to-day were two by
Hawk. the first providing for the location
Of an agricultural college near Fargo. and
asking for donation of eighty acres of
land and an appropriation of $780, 900 for
the same. The other provides for the levy
of township tax on real estate and a
working tax for the benefit of the roads.
The council
REFUSED TO CONCUR
in the joint resolution passed by the house
providing for the appointment of COM
mittee to investigate the insane asylums.
The members of that body claimed that
the charges made by Springstad, dis
charged attendant, were not deserving of
notice by body OF dignitied men. A
lengthy petition was received from the citi-
zens of Barnes county expressing an opin-
ion that the rulings of Commissioner
Sparks are injurious to Dakota and praying
the legislature to take action regarding the
matter. MI. McComber introduced very
important grain and warehouse bill. 1t
provides that all warehousemen shall keep
on hand at all times the same amount of
different grades of grain as is called for by
the tickets that have been issued. and that
they shall make monthly statements
to the warehouse commissioners, and if 1T
is found that their supply of grain is short
that they be obliged to purchase enough to
supply the deficiency. The council is get
ting interested in its work, and tomorrow
it will begin holding two sessions day.
The house will probably follow suit before
many days. TEE AITcH.

introduced by Mr. Conklin. 1t is aimed at
the Interpretation given by some to the sec
ton OF the Interstate commerce bill relating

hold with regard to traffic between different
parts OF the same state. 1t provides that
common carriers in the state shall not in
any way collect or receive from any party
greater Or less sums for services rendered
than from any other party for like services.
1t permits however. the granting of special
rates for charitable and philanthropc pur-
poses. and conpelS companies to furnish
free transportation to the various state Off
GERS. Railroad legislation is going to call
out decided opposition from the companies,
and strong lobby will be on hand to look
after their interests. Mr.. Gintz offered a
memorial from the State Historical society
praying the legislature to grant aid to ena-
BILE the society TO complete the survey of
the emblematic mounds OF Wisconsin. AS

Foul Play Feared.

DEs MONIES, Ia., Feb. 9.-News was
received here to-day of an accident or trag-
edy that occurred yesterday about six miles
northwest of Jefferson. A small farm
house occupied by man named Tucklum
was entirely consumed at O'Clock in the
afternoon. and Tucklum's aged father, wife
and son were burned to death. Two neigh
boring women saw the flames and tried to
get into the house, but the doors were
fastened. This, together with the fact that
a gun and revolver were found near the
charred remains of the old man, indicate
foul play, possibly murder and suicide.
